Hi, everybody! My English is very, very bad, because I'm from Finland... Anyway I love Michael and his works! Your English isn't bad at all; You've only put one comma in the wrong place and should've used one in another. It should've been: "My English is very, very bad because I'm from Finland. Anyway, I love Michael and his works!" |

I know; I was just pointing out that their English wasn't as terrible as they thought it was and that they'd only made minor errors. A lot of the foreigners here have said that they hope to improve their English here and I'd read that it helps to point out what mistakes they've made.

I'd also read that it helps to teach foreigners what mistakes they'd made in order to improve their English. I was supporting you. After all, some of us make even worse mistakes. LOL. |

Oh, sorry!  My mistake. I wasn't sure; I've realized how difficult it is to interpret sentences without hearing people speak them. |

In fact, I've started just placing commas and other punctuation where I want them to go, not where they belong. ;D |

We speak, read, and write the same language and still don't understand each other. Actually, you are right. Speech gives you that slight nuance to let you know that the person is agreeing with you. |
